LOL...actually that 103 pic was taken on the tollway headed home (85MPH speed limit, so within range) Yes there was no one around (well except for the other GT3 in front of me). The track got to 130 but it was a crowded lap deal. One joker was holding everyone up--no passing.

This thing will go 9k RPM and probably 103 in second

Oh man you guys are living the dream. I would need two things for sure driving that car....a camera to record this precious moment of losing my virginity for the second time and a diaper for when I crap my pants in ecstasy at the needle creeping up to 9k rpm, only to realise I have like four more gears to go....

A Ferrari is definitely nice, but a true petrol head who likes cars, gizmos, tech and a partridge and a pear tree has to have this car. Now that GT3 RS thats a sexy mutha.....shut yo mouf.

F-cars are nice, but for driving to country club valet.

GT3's (and Porsche's) R O C K on the street AND track.

BTW the new RS is only 8800 RPM, GT3 non-RS, 9k RPM...just saying

Paul, no arguing here but that wing on the RS, it looks so angry.

I'd still choose(as if) the GT3 same as you, much more liveable for those days I would have to go to Walmart and pick up pancake mix in my flip flops or weekend cruising around the malls......but then hear her scream and lay waste to rubber like it's nobody's business at a track.....is this even the same car, yes!

Enjoy that beauty and be safe out there, you too Tom.

Met another guy who also ran his GT3 (yellow one in pics) that was sporting a Patek 5167...always fun to talk cars and watches.

My buddy won his class at Pirelli World Cup...I was just out there running my car for fun.

Dr. Tom you have a great hobby I'll tell you!!







You need a Richard Mille on your wrist!!

They had a race there the 8th of March, or last weekend? I remember having an email that said there was. Almost drove out but had other business. Will be there for MOTOGP.

How rude, i forgot to say congratulations! I wish i could do something like that. I hear they have track days which are for learning on how to ride tracks and or different styles and applications of motorbikes.

But anyways, sweet ride, glad you had a good time. Always a good time out at the track...and watch spotting. :)
